Apple - Cmd+Tab does not work on hidden or minimized windows
This one is a bit tricky :
press ⌘ Cmd + ⇥ Tab to show your running apps. Keep holding ⌘ Cmd.
press ⇥ Tab until you've selected the app
press the ⌥ Option, and let go of the ⌘ Cmd.
( You must release ⌘ Cmd after pressing ⌥ Option ! )
Use ⌘ Cmd-Tab to cycle to the desired application and then, while still holding down ⌘ Cmd, press the ↑ or ↓ arrow. This will show the application's windows in Expose. Select the desired window with the arrow keys and press Return to activate it.

Try this:
On your Mac,
- Navigate to System Preferences
- Go to Mission Control
- Uncheck "When switching to an application, switch to a Space with open windows for the application"
Try using the cmd+tab now.
